Very good
Recommended without reservation
A veteran broker-owner with deep Itasca County roots and heavyweight industry credentials, best suited to buyers and sellers who want an experienced hand on acreages, resort property, or a relocation into the area.
Pros
- ✓35 years working the Grand Rapids/Itasca County market, including about 22 years running her own RE/MAX brokerage
- ✓Active broker-level license plus ABR, CRS, GRI and RSPS designations spanning buyer representation, resort/second-home and residential specialist training
- ✓Per her RE/MAX bio, she holds the RE/MAX Hall of Fame and Platinum Award, and is currently 2025 President-Elect of Minnesota REALTORS®
- ✓Leads her own team (The Northwoods Team) rather than working solo, adding capacity during busy periods
- ✓Broad service footprint across Grand Rapids, Marcell, Bigfork, Deer River and Cohasset
Cons
- ✗No independently verifiable review count or star rating turned up on Zillow or Google at time of writing — her reputation rests on testimonials and industry awards rather than a large public review base
- ✗Extensive state/national association leadership roles may mean less week-to-week personal availability than a full-time solo agent
- ✗Recently merged her long-standing independent brokerage into RE/MAX Advantage Plus (2024), so her online agent history is split across two brokerage profiles

Who this agent is for
Relocation buyers
Her civic and association ties across Itasca County give newcomers a well-connected orientation to the area.
Acreage and resort-property sellers
Three-plus decades pricing rural and lakeshore-adjacent property in this specific market.
Not for
Buyers who want a single dedicated point of contact throughout, since she leads a team rather than working every step solo.
Verdict
A credible, deeply credentialed choice for anyone selling or relocating into the Grand Rapids area, though her statewide leadership commitments and team structure mean the relationship may involve more than just one person.
